thesurgeon 51 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Its related to either two or four valves per cylander vr6 = 12 valve or 32valve. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6-DUB 3 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 The surgeon - so does the mk3 golf vr6 come in different valaves?So if my car is a 1998 highline - what is is? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Mk3 only came in 12v flavour...mk4s had the 24v Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Vr6 means a narrow angle V6. Narrow angle allows the use of a single head instead of the conventional dual head V6. So you have the mk3 VR6 12v, and then the mk4 VR6's, the 24v 4motion and R32I think some early mk4s or US spec were also 12v aswell, not 100% which it is Link to post Share on other sites
VRSIC 0 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Like everyone said, the MK3 only have the 12v. The MK4 2002.5 and on has the 24v....well at least in the states we do. Link to post Share on other sites
